Lec 1. Intro to musculoskeletal system and bone Flashcards
based on morphology, tissue are divided by 4 kinds
epithelial
nervous
connective
muscle
5 types of connective tissue
tendon ligament fascia cartilage bone
What is the composition of bone (4)
collagen
calcium phosphate
water
amorphous proteins
What are the 3 parts of bone
Epiphysis - top part
metaphysis - where bone flares
diaphysis - shaft
What do osteoblasts do
form new bone
what to osteoclasts do
degradation of bone
What is compact bone
dense cortical bone (shell)
What is cancellous bone
trabecular bone (sponge)
What is periosteum
highly innervated outer lining
When a person breaks a bone what part sends the pain
the periosteum
Osteoporosis affects bone how
the amount of bone is decreased and the structural integrity of trabecular bone is impaired. Cortical bone becomes more porous and thinner. This makes the bone weaker and more likely to fracture.
Which type of bone is better at resisting compression
cortical bone
Which type of bone does not resist tension forces well
cortical bone
When a bone starts to bend which side (convex or concave) will initiate the fracture
Convex
Which type of bone does not resist compression
cancellous bone - think of a sponge, you can squish it but it is better at tension
